If Jeff's using a traditional shakehand grip, does he turn his wrist over for the backhand?

[pingskills]

@XCallXMeXmatt I don't really change my grip too much for the backhand compared to the forehand. I do use some wrist on different backhand strokes.

how do i do a fh loop down the line and fh loop from the backhand corner digonally to my opponent bh court?i can do the fh loop crosscourt from the middle but the problem lies in down the line fh and backhand corner using my fh to hit to my opponent bh side,my loops n drive have sidespin on the ball.plesae advice as having sidespin on normall balls is wrong

@MrMingyong24 Great questions. We don't really have all the room we need here to answer them in detail. The best thing to do is go to our website and use the Ask the Coach section. You can also search through the answers there. We actually have a video response on hitting your forehand down the line!

would it be a good idea to aim for the edge/white line of the net because of topspins upward drag? also to play this faster do i take longer backswing or swing faster? awesome vid,

[pingskills]

@Detherocable By generating topspin you can actually aim a bit higher. The topspin will drag the ball down and give you a bigger margin for error and hence your shot will be more consistent. To make the shot faster I think it's better to keep your swing essentially the same but just get your bat moving faster by using your legs, your waist, your arm and your wrist.

Hello Jeff! I Seriously Need Help! My Friend Keeps On Topspinning When Ever I Return His Smash! Its Almost Impossible To Return It. How Should I Make Him Stop Topspinning? Thank You!

@nike1717 Great Video. About your comment I think It depends on your level. Timo and Zhang can play shots very fast and short, because they are elite level. For begginers it is better to start the stroke slow and wide to get more consistent, then with a lot practice they can finish as Boll or Jike...fast and short.

@handzrshouting Great question. We have a lot more room to discuss questions in the Ask the Coach section of our website. If you can, ask the question there and we'll answer it in detail for you.
